A sequel to the Sex and the City movie is in the early stages of development, HBO confirms to Entertainment Weekly.

And why not? Since its debut in theaters at the end of May, the first spin-off movie from the series has racked up a ridiculous $345 million.

“We’re really heartened by the fans’ enthusiasm,” Michael Lombardo, president of HBO’s programming group, said at the cable network’s annual press tour in Los Angeles. “Absolutely, there is a lot of energy behind doing another SATC movie.”

However, the lead actresses ( Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall and Kristin Davis) aren’t rushing to do the sequel as to not risk disappointing their loyal fans.

Twilight is being adapted into a film by Summit Entertainment. The film is being directed by Catherine Hardwicke and stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson as protagonists Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen, respectively. It is set to be released domestically on December 12, 2008.

Now we at fetch are really excited about the movie as our very own Marius (M) saw immense potential in the book and always knew it was destined for great things besides this Marius made his debut on Fetch with his review of Twilight which you can check out here.

Charlize Theron, Will Smith and Jason Bateman arrive at the Premiere of Sony Pictures’ Hancock at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Monday in Hollywood.

The 32-year-old actress recently spoke about her thoughts on the acting profession, saying, “I still believe that the job of an actor is to ‘disappear’. It’s about the canvas of the story, and not about thinking, ‘Oh, what do I get to play in this movie?”

“I don’t think of my work in that compartmentalised way. I’m a lover of good material and I like things that break the whole rule of thumb of what genre is.”, continued Charlize.

PARIS, June 30, 2008 – After entering the Paris couture season as an Italian outsider a few years ago, Giorgio Armani has relaxed into his stride. Dispensing with hats and other distracting accoutrements, his show opened with a concise essay on what he has always been known for: elegant and easy pantsuits. It wasn't an exact repeat of the unstructured tailoring with which he captured the loyalty of working women in the eighties, but rather a finely tuned update that combined feminine, trumpet-sleeved jackets with a great new cut of ankle-grazing, high-waisted pleated trousers. Better still, by breaking up the suits into contrasting pieces of powder-pink tops and menswear fabric bottoms (and vice versa), he neatly consigned the dour look of corporate uniform to the past.

At a time when designers have been producing tricky, experimental trouser shapes (and Armani, to be fair, has been among them in recent seasons), these will be manna to pants-loving women who've spent so long in the wilderness. So, too, will some of his jackets, especially the precisely tailored, neatly square-shouldered tuxes—and, for anyone with an eye for an attention-grabbing evening look, the glam silver python number. Of course, tailoring is only half of what Armani has to offer in couture. For full-on event dressing, he has countless solutions in beading and chiffon. Best, though, was the simplest: a strapless column, half black, half white, tied with a velvet bow under the bust. It was old-school glamour nailed with a modern minimalist's eye: the thing—like the pantsuit—Mr. Armani excels at.

PARIS, June 30, 2008 – In a way, it was a classic: combining the indelible fifties inspiration of Lisa Fonssagrives, Dior mannequin and wife of Irving Penn, and that of the new model of French conservative chic, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. Those two streams of thought merged into a collection John Galliano called "fresh couture—restrained and refined." If it didn't exactly result in 100 percent conventionality (there were plenty of sheer skirts and fetishistic patent belts that might not work at a political summit), the happy fact that the first lady of France has chosen to dress at Dior gave Galliano full rein to revel in the realms of glamour the house established 60 years ago.

The templates were all there: big coats, wasp waists, nipped jackets, circle skirts, tulle dance dresses, architectural gowns cut from spiraling lace and jutting scrolls of crin. Mostly framed in black and white, with tints of gray, caramel, Parma violet, mint, and chartreuse to follow, the shapes traced familiar silhouettes—albeit a familiarity shot through with Galliano's irrepressible touches of perversity. A nod to Dior's New Look peplum became a stiff patent hip-jutting belt with cross-lacing in the back, and a knowing acknowledgement of the basis of the hourglass silhouette came in a couple of see-through gowns with the corsetry fully on display. Still, this was Christian Dior very much under control and within the scope of reality. Add some lingerie and take off the belts, and it's no stretch at all to imagine Madame Sarkozy finding plenty here to wow the world in her demure manner, come fall.

Ben Barnes joins costars Alicia Borrachero, Anna Popplewell and William Moseley at the premiere of their new film, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, at the Capitol Cinema on Monday in Madrid, Spain.

Ireland’s Independent recently interviewed Ben and he addressed what it’s like to be get so much attention from female fans. He said, “If someone says to me, ‘How does the whole heartthrob thing make you feel?’ ‘Vaguely embarrassed to be honest’, is the actual answer. I just feel a bit silly when that’s said to me. And of course, at the same time, ‘amazing’ because if girls think I’m a heart-throb then I stand a better chance with them. So both.”
